245 MPH! New Golf Ball Speed World Record from Dr. Sam Attanasio
Speed Toad Cofounder Dr. Sam Attanasio Sets New Golf Ball Speed World Record at 245 MPH!
At Speed Toad, we’re thrilled to celebrate a groundbreaking achievement: our cofounder, Dr. Sam Attanasio, just set a new world record for golf ball speed, reaching an astonishing 245 mph on the Trackman Launch Monitor. Besting his own prior world record of 243 mph. This extraordinary accomplishment not only highlights Dr. Sam's dedication and expertise but also pushes the boundaries of what's possible in golf performance.
As a professional athlete on the World Long Drive Tour, Dr. Attanasio’s pursuit of speed and power is unparalleled. His background in speed training is well-known among elite athletes and enthusiasts alike. At Speed Toad, he combines this expertise with innovative training methods to help golfers worldwide unlock their full potential. But breaking the ball speed record isn’t just a testament to raw power—it’s the result of years of study, practice, and meticulous planning. Dr. Sam’s approach to training integrates biomechanics, precision, and physical conditioning, all crafted to build the fastest and most efficient golf swing in the world.
Using the Trackman Launch Monitor, a leader in golf swing analysis technology, Dr. Attanasio achieved this 245 mph speed with exact measurement and verification. Trackman’s advanced sensors capture every detail, making it the ideal platform for verifying such high-performance results. Dr. Sam's accomplishment isn't just about numbers; it demonstrates the effectiveness of the techniques he’s developed and refined over time, proving that elite ball speed is possible with the right approach to speed training.
Dr. Attanasio didn't pursue the conventional route most do when speed training, he never lifted heavy weights, or swung heavy swing training aids. Rather he hyper-focused on health, mobility, building an efficient swing, and most importantly... training his Central Nervous System and fast twitch muscles with the Speed Toad.
At Speed Toad, we’re inspired by Dr. Attanasio’s achievement and look forward to continuing to help golfers achieve new levels of speed and power. Stay tuned for more updates from Speed Toad as we continue pushing the limits of performance in golf.
